Another drug war turf battle hit tonight.Information is scarce but it's a young Indo-Canadian male with a bullet in the back of his head.Sounds really familiar.I wonder what Wally will tell us about this one.One of these days the cops will actually solve one of these hits and we won't have to listen to lame excuses for what everybody but the police knows is just drug gang violence as the result of the prohibition of drugs.If I have to listen to one more stupid police theory i'm gonna puke.It's like the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.People keep dying and all we get is more tough talk and more ways to throw the wrong people in prison.Congratulations to our US brothers for finally jailing more people per capita than we do.We held that distinction for far too long.Have no fear,though,Harper's here.I'm sure his new legislation will quickly fill the gap and we'll retake that little distinction.Then there's Ms. Watts and her drug courts.It's just a matter of time till the people forced into treatment wind up in jail to add to the count.Too bad we have so few people or we could probably reach two million in a hair's breadth.
